I've talked to Paul a couple times and he's pretty cool. If you really look into what he's accomplished in his career you start to realize how few really are at his level. Not with just 1911s either but with pistols in general. I guess it's good for the 1911 world but I can't help but wonder how S&W could be so stupid to let him slip away.

Yeah, he basically started the Performance Center. I'm not sure if S&W tried to keep him or not. Paul may have just wanted to go his own way.

Paul is a great guy and builds an awesome gun. I am fortunate that his shop is a mere 10 miles from my house. I stop to chat with him often and he has done some some work for me. I plan to eventually have him build me a full house custom.
